INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE is Coming Back To Theaters For Father's Day — GeekTyrant
"The man with the hat is back. And this time he's bringing his dad." Grab your dad, your leather satchel, and a fedora because Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is heading back to theaters for Father's Day, which is awesome, because I'll finally get to watch this movie on the big screen again! Fathom Events is giving fans the opportunity to relive one of cinema's greatest father-son adventures on the big screen. The 1989 classic returns June 14, 15, and 18 as part of their Big Screen Classics series. This is my favorite Indiana Jones movie. The chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery still hits. Despite only being twelve years apart in real life, their dynamic as Indy and his cranky, bookish dad somehow worked like magic. This movie delivered so many unforgettable moments: the motorcycle escape, the Venice catacombs, the literal leap of faith, and of course, Indy shouting 'DON'T CALL ME JUNIOR!' It's action-packed, hilarious, surprisingly emotional, and a good reminder that punching Nazis will never go out of style. This seems like a fun opportunity to take your dad to the movies. Even if my own kids don't take me, I'm still going to go see it! I'm up for going solo to soak in some nostalgia with a bucket of popcorn and that John Williams score echoing through the theater. When it comes to Father's Day plans, you could buy a tie for your dad… or you could take him to watch a classic father and son adventure film!

"What Lies Beneath" TV Series in Works
Yara Sameh Robert Zemeckis' 2000 supernatural horror thriller "What Lies Beneath," starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer, is heading to the small screen as the latest Hollywood blockbuster to be getting a TV adaptation. The synopsis for the movie reads: "It had been a year since Dr. Norman Spencer (Harrison Ford) betrayed his beautiful wife Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer). But with Claire oblivious to the truth, Norman's life and marriage seem so perfect that when Claire tells him of hearing mysterious voices and seeing a young woman's image in their home, he dismisses her terror as delusion. Claire moves closer to the truth and it becomes clear that this apparition will not be dismissed, and has come back for Dr. Spencer and his beautiful wife." Mark Johnson, who is well known for producing features like The Chronicles of Narnia trilogy, Rain Man, The Notebook and more, said the property as one of several projects being considered for TV adaptation. We're very excited about the idea of maybe doing a television show — I'm not sure I should say this but I'm going to — our movie What Lies Beneath, that could lend itself to a very good, perhaps limited, perhaps not, TV show," he told Deadline . Johnson has been part of the production team for some of AMC's biggest hits over the last two decades, and that doesn't seem about to change as he has recently penned a renewal of his first-look deal with AMC Studios. Currently, one of his biggest roles is overseeing the Anne Rice universe that has delivered "Interview With the Vampire" and "The Mayfair Witches", and even as he turns 80 this year, the producer has no plans to step away from making shows he loves. He added in his interview: 'Why wouldn't I be at AMC? They truly celebrate the story. You look at the success they've had, it is still very much the leader and the benchmark: good writing, good characters and good television.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Cannes Film Festival is a celebration of movies and their stars. I spent my week trying to catch them all.
I spent an unforgettable week in the south of France this May, immersed among the celebrities and movies that I'd be writing about for at least the next year as they generated buzz for their projects at the Cannes Film Festival. Between screenings and celeb-spotting excursions, I kept a diary about my first time in the glamorous alternate universe at Cannes. Let's flip through it. The hunt for influencers The author dined at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. (Kelsey Weekman/Yahoo News) My sleepless eight-hour overnight flight left me edgy yet determined, so the first thing I did when I landed in Nice was check my luggage at the hotel and speed over to Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. The eavesdropping was ideal among uber-wealthy lunchgoers, but there weren't any social media stars, despite it being the go-to spot for celebrities to take photos channeling '80s Harrison Ford. Advertisement I accidentally blew my per diem on a buffet with €15 water. I spent the rest of the week hanging out in hotel lobbies and finally infiltrated a TikTok creator lounge, where I learned that even if you have hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, you can still be starstruck by movie stars. Find out more about what I saw and what I heard here. A middle school reunion The author ran into her middle school best friend, who is now a TikToker, at the Cannes Film Festival. (Kelsey Weekman/Yahoo News) I wasn't expecting to run into anyone I knew in Cannes this week, so imagine my surprise when I saw my best friend from middle school for the first time in 17 years. Jocelyn Yates wasn't just at the festival — she was one of the creators TikTok brought to the red carpet, and she got to meet Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise! I ran into her at the platform's creator lounge after sprinting nearly a mile to get from the press room to an interview, and I had to dart away immediately afterward to get to a premiere. Luckily, it was enough time to snag a selfie and her new phone number, so we'll be able to truly reconnect under less sweaty circumstances for me. The go-to small talk topic Vie Privée cast members on the red carpet. (Antonin Thuillier/AFP via Getty Images) Anyone who spoke to me before I left for Cannes got an earful about how I had to use two different clothing rental companies to find the six evening gowns I packed for the festival, which has a strict and fancy dress code for premieres. I ended up needing only two, but I didn't mind looking fabulous every day I was there. I'm ready to declare the heeled Crocs I wore here and to interview people outside the Met Gala as the best shoes for reporting. Not sponsored, just praising a comfy shoe! During the festival, attendees couldn't stop gossiping about newly added dress code rules that banned nudity and lengthy dress trains. People around me couldn't stop asking, 'Had you seen anyone get turned away?' 'Who had to scramble to get a new outfit?' 'Were the new 'decency' standards antiquated?' Read more about the dress code fallout. A fan experience without the whimsy Benicio del Toro, Austin Butler, Angela Bassett and Angelina Jolie interact with fans at Cannes Film Festival. (Photo illustration: Yahoo News; photos clockwise from top left: Sameer al-Doumy/AFP via Getty Images (2), Valerie Hache/AFP via Getty Images, Sameer al-Doumy/AFP via Getty Images.) Advertisement One of my favorite things to do at events is stand outside and talk to fans about the passion that brought them there, so I was shocked when the people who lined up for celebrity spotting at Cannes were largely grumpy and unwilling to chat. My 38-day French Duolingo streak didn't prepare me for that kind of conversational maneuvering. Their fascination with movie stars was captivating, though, so I spent a very memorable evening in line with celebrity spotters, including a dog who has encountered more stars than this entertainment reporter and two cruise ship passengers who wanted to know what all the fuss was about. The four-legged red carpet star The most memorable person I met while mingling with fans near the red carpet was Cannes resident Cécile Forest, and her 4-year-old Chihuahua, Savanna. The tiny dog is always dressed in pink, and sometimes those outfits are customized for the movie premiere of the night. I've seen her in several memes and viral photos. Forest told me on Instagram after I left the festival that Savanna is an ambassador for Culture de Wouf, which advocates for dogs to be allowed into more spaces. Advertisement 'We believe that we must make life easier for owners, to reduce the number of abandonments. We must let dogs into stores so that there are fewer dog thefts on the sidewalks and fewer dogs dying locked in cars,' Forest told me. My festival foe I thought I'd be spending my downtime at the beach or sipping a cappuccino and people watching at a cafe, but because the Cannes Film Festival ticketing process is so intense, I spent every idle moment refreshing the ticketing page. I don't regret my intensity at all — I got to see everything I wanted! — though sometimes it was mere minutes before a screening. Iana Murray, a longtime X mutual whom I met for the first time in person over matcha near the Palais, attended Cannes for the seventh time this year. She told me the ticketing process is much better than it used to be. People had to stand in lines for hours to get into screenings. Next year, I'll try to spend more time refreshing those pages in more scenic locations. A bucket list achievement Tom Cruise sends love to his fans at the Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. (Yahoo News; photo: Stephane Cardinale/Corbis via Getty Images) As a first-timer, I didn't get invited to many parties or exclusive events. I spent most of my time scrapping for tickets and conversation. The highly anticipated premiere of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning was by far the most glamorous and exclusive event I've ever been to in my entire life, probably. Read about the surreal experience here. The chaos of constant clapping I technically took part in two standing ovations, a tradition at Cannes. Movies are judged based on how long people stand and clap for them afterward. Five minutes is considered mediocre, and the longest recorded ovation was 22 minutes for Pan's Labyrinth in 2006. Advertisement But I learned from witnessing one in person that there's no true consensus on when an ovation begins and ends. Is it when the first person stands until the last person stops clapping? Or is it when the clapping begins until the final person stops standing? Is it both? Is it more of a vibes-based calculation? Critics and reporters haven't reached a consensus.

In addition to beholding Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson with my own mortal eyes, I saw a person in what appeared to be a giant turkey costume. I assumed that the bird would be featured in the movie, but it was not. I still don't know what happened there. A great time at the movies I saw 11 movies at Cannes Film Festival. (Photo Illustration: Victoria Ellis for Yahoo News, photos: Letterboxd, Focus Features /Courtesy Everett Collection, A24 / Courtesy Everett Collection) I knew I'd be missing out on about half of the buzzy Cannes titles because I only attended the first of two weeks of the festival, but I wasn't ready to see people lauding Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value as the best of the bunch long after I'd left the Croisette. I may die of FOMO if I can't see it soon. Still, I saw nearly a dozen films that I loved — several of which I know we'll be talking about well into awards season. Read more about my favorites here. Advertisement Takes on a plane The most pressing question I wanted to ask celebrities this week is what movies they watched on the plane on the way to Cannes, though I only got to ask two. The Phoenician Scheme star Jeffrey Wright told me he doesn't watch movies on planes but he does play chess on his phone. His costar Rupert Friend said that tiny airplane screens are depressing to him, so he went to sleep. On the flight to Cannes, everyone around me was watching something from the Mission: Impossible series, including me. On the way back to New York, though, everyone was watching Friends. I watched Oceans Eleven, Janet Planet and One of Them Days. Blackout FOMO A restaurant without lights during a power outage during the Cannes Film Festival. () I unexpectedly experienced a lot of FOMO when I read that a blackout hit the south of France ahead of the Cannes awards ceremony — and again when I read that it was suspected sabotage! Not only was I missing out on the festivities that may set the stage for the upcoming awards season, but there was drama afoot as well. Survival by the numbers According to my iPhone's Health app, I walked an average of 9,900 steps per day — about 3,000 steps more than my typical count for film festivals over the last year. All the theaters were pretty close together, so I'm chalking this one up to the fact that it was just really beautiful outside and a joy to walk around. Advertisement On the other hand, I slept an average of 4 hours and 30 minutes every night in Cannes, which is about 2 hours less than the usual festival. One night, I slept only 29 minutes. My average bedtime was 2:40 a.m. I'm also blaming this on the fact that there was just so much to see. The little things Spectators prepare to watch a movie at the Cinéma de la Plage at Cannes Film Festival. (Sameer Al-Doumy/AFP via Getty Images) When I talk about Cannes, I mention seeing Tom Cruise in person, spending hours in line and rubbing shoulders with the glamorous. But when I think about the moments I enjoyed the most, it's the movie I got to watch on the beach after a long day, the chats with excited students who had long dreamed of walking the Croisette, the blurry pictures of fearless pigeons hunting for food and the last-minute trips to Steak and Shake when I was starving but unwilling to pay €35 for a salad. Some of the magic of Cannes may be inherent in its exclusivity and European pretentiousness, which makes those quirky moments of charm all the more unforgettable.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD Director Reveals a Wild Scrapped Scene With Red Hulk — GeekTyrant
Captain America: Brave New World was not a huge hit with fans, but it had a few fun moments we never thoughts we'd see, including Harrison Ford joining the MCU and turning into the raging Red Hulk. But that transformation could have been even wilder if the director had chosen to go with an early idea, based on the comics. During a recent interview with JoBlo Celebrity Access (via /Film), the film's director Julius Onah revealed that at one point in the filmmaking process, there were plans for Red Hulk to have a gun. He explained, "There was a point in time, actually, it didn't make the movie, where Red Hulk, arcing back to publishing, wielded a gun, and it just didn't feel quite right for the actual movie." While this would be comic book accurate, it does sound silly. Anyone can use a gun, but not just anyone, even in the MCU, can turn into a powerful Hulk. It seems like he doesn't need another advantage when he's in that state of being, and it doesn't sound like it would have brought anything to the movie to save it from the negative response. What do you think? Would you have liked to have seen Red Hulk bust out a giant gun?
